Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Matthias II (Kuttenberg) 1613-1619 from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Bohemian lion on a shield, surrounded by two angels holding banners. This design was specifically chosen by King Matthias II to symbolize his reign and the unity of the Bohemian people.
